Pinkfresh Studio - Masculine Birthday Card


Hello everyone, I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with a masculine card. We all need to create masculine cards and the abstract Mountain Stencils helps create easy backdrop. The new Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch is perfect to give the elegant touch to our creations.
 

To start, I sponged inks (Seaside, Storm, Stargazer, Mimosa, Candy Violet, Waterfall, Paradise) through the Mountain Sencil but added color only to the mountain part. Sponge, waterfall and Lemon whip for the sky part using the 1" Blending Brushes, for a soft look.

Next, I die-cut the grassy slopes and grass using the Trees dies. Add color to the slopes using Sage ink. Die-cut the twigs from white cardstock using Wildflower Bouquet dies. Sponge Waterfall, Lemon Whip and Mimosa inks lightly onto the top part. 
 

For the gifts, I used the Holiday Bicycle stamps, added color using inks (Sunshine, Grassy Knoll, Mimosa, Waterfall) through the stencils and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut the mountain scene using the the mid size die from the Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch die, die-cut another piece using the 2nd largest die, sponge Waterfall ink moving from center towards the edge. This way we only get a slight tint of the color. Finally, die-cut one more layer using the biggest die to adhere to the cardbase. 
 

Assemble the card as per the photo. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Here For You Sentiments stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the co-ordnating die. I adhered to an orange card, slightly off-set. I love adding another color behind my sentiments to pop them up.

Hope you got an idea for masculine card. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Framed Art Trio

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio Blog today, sharing three cards featuring various products from the release and a fun way to use the abstract stencils from the Framed Art product suite. Hope you enjoyed our new release hops last week.

For my first card, I used Framed Art stencils, stamp and dies along with the Kindness in Bloom stamp (sentiment), Breezy Blossoms stamps and dies (as accent)

I started by adding various inks (Soft Lilac, Waterfall, Mint, Summer Shower) through the brush stroke stencils. To get more interest, I chose two different brushstrokes. Next, I stamped the floral cluster from the Framed Art stamp using Mint ink in an abstract way to this panel.


Die-cut the wall hanging using vellum, Die-cut the top and bottom panel using white card, I added some gold glitter from the Essentials: Gold Glitter pack for a touch of sparkle. Stamp the image using Detail Black ink, add color through the stencils using inks (Soft Lilac, Raspberry Bliss, Grassy Knoll, Summer Shower) and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment, add a bit of color to the two edges and cut into a stripe. Stamp the Breezy Blossoms using Calico White ink, emboss with white embossing powder and die-cut. Adhere around the main focal image as an accent.

For the 2nd card I used the Framed Art stencils to create the background using inks (Sparkling Rose, Waterfall, Lemon Whip, Grassy Knoll)

 
I then die-cut a pink cardbase using the Blanket Stitched Rectangle die and adhered behind the mat layer. Next I die-cut a frame from Blush Glitter Card using the Dotted Fancy Frames die. Adhere to the card. 
 

Stamp the florals from Modern Botanicals stamp, add color using inks (Mango Sorbet, Raspberry Bliss, Spruce Tips,  Grassy Knoll)through the stencils, die-cut using the dies.

Die-cut some twigs using white card from the Wildflower Bouquet dies. Assemble everything together. Use the sentiment from the Wildflower Bouquet stamp set and die-cut. 

For the last card, I decided to go for a bit more artsy and abstract mini slimline card.

 I swipe the Stargazer inkpad through the Framed Art stencils and sponged some more elements from parts of the stencils, add some flicks using the same ink. Add a touch of water (yes, Pinkfresh inks reacts with water) and let it dry. I then added some more strokes using the Sunkissed ink. 

Die-cut this panel using the Mini Slimline Essential Bundle, now die-cut three vellum circles using the small circle die in this set. Adhere the white twigs from the Wildflower Bouquet dies. Foil the florals with Rose Gold foil using the Modern Botanicals press plate. 

Add ink using the stencils, die-cut and adhere to the card. To finish adhere the sentiment.

Pinkfresh Studio - Creative Stencilling

 Hello and Happy Friday everyone! Isha back on the Pinkfresh Studio blog sharing on creative way to stretch your stencils. I really like to stretch my supplies and Pinkfresh products are really versatile to just help me do that.

For my first card, I used the stencils from the Art Deco Floral Arch Suite but instead of using them to add color to the images, I created the fun background by using only two of the stencils.


 
I paired this background with the floral from the Garden Party Die, Nested Elongated Ovals die, sentiments from the Here For You stamps and the coordinating dies.

Sponge inks (Lemon Whip, Marigold, Coral Reef) to a white card panel, sponge the same inks through the stencil in an ombré. I used the 1 inch and 1/2 inch blending brushes. Die-cut the center using the Nested Elongated Ovals die. Adhere the oval to a yellow card and the negative outer frame using 3d foam.


 
Die-cut the flowers and leaves from the Garden Party Die. Sponge inks (Marigold, Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Mint, Emerald City) Adhere to the card. I die-cut some leaves from vellum and adhered them to add some layering. Flick gold paint to this card.


 
Stamp the sentiment from the Here For You stamps using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut one more sentiment using the Gold Glitter cardstock, adhere behind the stamped sentiment slightly offset. Adhere to the card using 3d foam. Adhere Sparkle and Shine glitter drops around the sentiment and to the flower center I used Clear Gems with gold dust.

For my second card, I used the leaves part of the Garden Party stencil and sponged inks (Sheer Freesia, Soft Lilac) through it.



Adhere this piece to a lilac cardbase. Next, I die-cut inverted scallop from the Stitched Scallop circle die from Glacier Glitter cardstock. Adhere to the card using 3d foam.


 
Ink (Raspberry Bliss, Hydrangea, Marigold, Mango Sorbet, Mint, Lush Forest) the flowers and leaves using the stencil. Die-cut using the coordinating die. I die-cut some leaves using white cardstock too.



Spray some sparkle frost spritz for subtle shimmer to all the die-cuts. Adhere to the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Here For You stamps using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card.

Hope you got some ideas to stretch the stencils.
Have a nice weekend. Thank you for dropping by!
